(Israel Hayom) Defunct committee recommends that haredim could seek deferment until the age of 22 for yeshiva studies, after which they carry out 24 months of military service or 18 months of national service.

(Ynet) 250 new immigrant students throw their hat in the ring of this summer's protests, gathering in front of the Prime Minister's Office to oppose budget cuts. 'This hurts aliya and hurts Israel's basic values'

Ma'ariv reminds its readers that, "There were several attempts in the past to draft the ultra-orthodox," but adds, "They all failed because nobody – from Dayan to Begin to Netanyahu – really wants to do so." The author asserts that one cannot criticize only the ultra-orthodox and says, "Little, power-hungry politicians, all of them secular, have – out of narrow considerations that have nothing to do with equality – given the ultra-orthodox a gift more precious than gold. The 'suckers', who constitute a minority, carry the others on their backs because their cynical and fundamentally immoral representatives have sold them out."

Yisrael Hayom believes, "The principle of service for all from age 18 will lay the first bricks toward creating a new public space in which nobody is more or less equal than others. Everyone will be involved in building the civil society, everyone will have equal rights and equal obligations. Just as the State of Israel does not allow its citizens to choose whether or not to pay the television and radio licensing fee, it must require them to their part in bearing the burden of service. Without an enforcement mechanism in the form of imprisonment or significant fines of at least NIS 150,000, the principle of universal service will remain a mere recommendation."
